first you should try to restore your OS to a saved point when the burner was visible, not neccessarily working but when it showed up.
if you're not familiar with how to do this, go to start/help& support, look on the right side and under "pick a task" see if you can
click on the "undo changes to your computor with system restore"
if you're lucky you might be able to restore the OS to a time when the Burner was working.

if that works try going into the control panel/system/hardware/device manager and uninstall then reboot and see if the install wizard will restore it back to default settings.

also while in the device manager make sure that the IDE/ATA/Atapi controllers are set to DMA or DMA ultra in the secondary IDE channel. another thing to look at if someone has messed with your PC or OS is irq conflicts.
you also might want to remove any other cd drives from the ide cable as some burners are picky about sharing for some reason.
hope this helps]]> In The Studio TwistedLefty https://guitarnoise.forum/in-the-studio-in-the-studio/just-wondering-cd-burner-gone/#post-181356 https://guitarnoise.forum/in-the-studio-in-the-studio/just-wondering-cd-burner-gone/#post-181289 Sat, 03 Jun 2006 20:55:09 +0000 In The Studio jonetoe https://guitarnoise.forum/in-the-studio-in-the-studio/just-wondering-cd-burner-gone/#post-181289 https://guitarnoise.forum/in-the-studio-in-the-studio/just-wondering-cd-burner-gone/#post-181261 Sat, 03 Jun 2006 19:10:01 +0000
Are you sure you have a burner? if so..Sounds to me the burner is bad. have you tried removing it in the device manager and rebooting the computer to see if it finds it?

Purchasing a new burner? this may sound dumb but would that be a piece of hardware or software. Can you buy hardware and connect it to your computer? I also see just software which may not help if I have a system problem This could be a heat issue as previously suggested...try burning a cd when the computer is cold and see what happens. It could also be loose cables so check all your cables going to the burner (you have to open the case to do this). One other thing to try is to completely uninstall the burner (uninstall the drivers AND the cables...turn the computer OFF to take the cables off) reboot the computer to make sure it is uninstalled then shut down again. Hook the cables back up again and turn the computer on. OH by the way...you never said what operating system you are using (Windows XP, ME, 2000?). Windows XP should recognize the burner and install it...keep the drivers handy...you'll need them.]]> In The Studio Anonymous https://guitarnoise.forum/in-the-studio-in-the-studio/just-wondering-cd-burner-gone/#post-181221 https://guitarnoise.forum/in-the-studio-in-the-studio/just-wondering-cd-burner-gone/#post-181207 Sat, 03 Jun 2006 12:24:38 +0000 Next is the IDE cable, which is usually wide and flat, with the outside wire of one side marked with red. That is connector 1, which has to be correctly connected to the new burner - the instructions will tell you which way round it should be connected.
The last, if it has one, is the sound connector, so that you can play cds directly to the sound card. You just need to make sure you note which way round the wires are - it won't harm anything, you'll just get the channels crossed, if you connect it up wrongly.
The burner is, physically, held in place by 4 screws. Just unscrew them, pull the old burner out, through the front, push the new burner into the slot. Before fixing it in place, connect all the cables, then screw into place. Install the new software and you're away.]]> In The Studio greybeard https://guitarnoise.forum/in-the-studio-in-the-studio/just-wondering-cd-burner-gone/#post-181207
